Optic atrophy 11

This study tests whether injecting a person's own bone marrow stem cells into or near the eye can help treat various retinal and optic nerve diseases, including age-related macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, and glaucoma. Participants receive stem cell injections via dif…

This study tests a special camera that takes detailed images of the retina using many wavelengths of light. Researchers hope it can find early signs of eye diseases like age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma. About 1,000 adults in Melbourne, Austral…

This study tests whether custom 3D-printed cutlery handles can help people with neurodegenerative diseases eat more independently. 75 patients in rehabilitation care will try handles in different sizes, designed to fit their grip. Researchers will measure changes in eating abilit…

This study looks at people with brain damage from strokes, tumors, or other conditions to understand why they have specific thinking problems. Researchers will use brain scans and cognitive tests to link brain areas to deficits. The goal is to learn more about how the brain works…

This study gathers medical information from 200 adults with possible nerve, muscle, or autonomic nervous system disorders who are not already in other NIH studies. Participants undergo standard tests like nerve conduction studies, EMG, and physical exams. The data is stored anony…

This study is looking at how people with conditions like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, and neurological diseases (such as Alzheimer's or stroke) perform on computer-based thinking tests. The goal is to create a detailed map of cognitive strengths and weaknesses acr…

This study aims to create a database of eye images using a new holographic Doppler laser device. The goal is to better visualize and measure blood flow in the retina and choroid, which is important for diagnosing eye diseases. About 123 adults, both with and without eye condition…

This study looks at whether using a swallow gel or a semi-solid vehicle can help people with neurological conditions swallow pills more easily and safely. Researchers will observe 500 participants, including patients with swallowing disorders and healthy volunteers, as they swall…
